[Verse 1]
Wine laced love stained pages of verse
Bound and forged by visions lore
At the arrowsmith's fire
Mind like a candle burning

[Refrain]
In a masquerade of dumb eyes
Scars of seasons passing
All life comes to but one moment's flickering touch

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Heavy in the hand, smooth to the thumb
Patterns of fable, horn-crescent adorned
Picture and pathway
Framed in endless show

[Refrain]
'Twixt the gaze and the eyelid's wink
In a soft lit room with mellowing drink
All life comеs to but one moment's slippery touch
